Wow, the Grand Floridian looks very posh and classy. SOOO, the woman who gives out Teddy Bears is not a CM?? Interesting

Its so classy! She is not, she just hangs out there all the time. Which is probably why many people think that. To be honest I never got a good look at her so I have no clue what she even looks like, and I saw her in the lobby probably 4 times on this trip.

I have been to this restaurant 3 times before so I was not knew to the whole experience. It was Brittany and Chelseas first time though, Brittany was very excited to eat here. We were all excited to get in trouble!

We were late to Dinner, of course. But no worries we still got to eat! Bring on the DISNEY FOOD!!!!

I love the atmosphere of this restaurant, its the reason why I always go back. With this restaurant you can either get a really good experience or a boring one. Ive had really good ones and not so good, it all really depends on your waiter and where you sit.

Before we got seated we maybe waited about 5 minutes, just enough time to take some photos.

Brittany thinking she is in the doctors office.

We were seated in the back room, our family was a little on the boring side but I did ever thing in my power to make it a fun experience. We tried putting our elbows on the table and playing on our phones but nothing worked.

Our cousin just kept telling us to put our phone away, lame. The only funny thing was is that he actually turned off Brittanys phone.

Besides the sad experience we had, the food totally made up for it!

First we started with some drinks. Me and Chelsea got the cherry coke and Brittany I believe got the Vanilla Coke.

Onto entrees, I already knew what I was going to get while planning this trip. I got the Pot Roast, as did Brittany. Chelsea got the fried chicken. While we waited we had to set the table, teamwork!

Oh my goodness let me tell you the pot roast is soooo good! It took probably only 10 minutes for me and Brittany to eat it. DISNEY FOOD IS THE BEST FOOD

Chelsea on the other hand did not really even touch any of her chicken. Maybe because they give you so many pieces. Girl, you're on the dining plan get ready for a whole lot of food!

TIME FOR SOME DESSERT!!!!

I choose the apple cobbler, it was good but not as good as the delicious apple crisp they have over at Sci-fi.

Brittany chose the Daddys sundae. I got this the last time I ate here, so big! Brownies, ice cream, caramel corn, hot fudge. Definitely a sweet treat.

Chelsea was going to go without dessert until we told her that it came with the dinning plan so you better get it! She ended up choosing the smores, which she said were good.

Before we ate our dessert Chelsea took a picture with Brittanys dessert why you ask? Mickey sprinkles was on her list for the scavenger hunt. Check

After eating most of my dessert I decided to do some coloring while we waited for our cousin to come back and get the bill. Im a child!

Our cousin soon came back to check up on us while bringing us to go cups in the cute Halloween cups! How kind! He then asked if we wanted a picture of us all together. He waited and made sure that the tv said primetime on it.

After our delicious mean it was time to find Alicia and Andy. When we left the restaurant I heard the camp rock theme song playing, that must mean Disney Channel Rocks show was performing. Of course we decided to check it out. WHen we arrived they were bringing children with them to dance, me and Chelsea were the only "older" people to go rock out. Again I'm a child

After a fun time rocking out, it was time to do some high school musical. Being the nerdy child that I am I decided to join them in doing the All in this together dance with them on the side. Seriously I would not be mad getting a job in Disney Channel Rocks.

After the show ended we meet up with Alicia and Andy by the Little Mermaid. Before we decided to head over to draw and animation academy I decided to purchase a Tiana crown. My favorite princess! Brittany had her belle crown from a past trip so I decided hey why not? I normally get a pair of mickey ears every trip so it was a nice change.

We went over to Animation Academy to see how long the wait was till the next drawing class. Luckily we didnt have to wait to long. Once everyone got settled in it was time to see who we were going to be drawing.

After naming off a lot of characters it came down to Rapunzel .no ones mad!
My poor Rapunzel turned out real bad, Im not a fan of not having an eraser. Lets see everyones drawing!!

Just being Rapunzel

After our fun time drawing we decided to say goodbye Hollywood Studios and make our way over to Epcot. Alicia and Andy had dinner reservations at San Angel and Brittany, Chelsea, and Me were just going to enjoy the EMH.

Once we arrived it was drizzling out, of course just our luck. Thanks okay I love Disney Rain!

We didnt really have a game plan, Alicia and Andy had time to waste before they had to go to dinner so we decided to go on Spaceship earth. At this time I believe Brittany found out that she could skype her parents thanks to the new free wifi.

After Spaceship earth we headed over to swim with Nemo and his friends. Three of us crammed into a clam mobile and we ready for our adventure. My favorite part is the ending when they sing In the big blue world. I love that song!!!!

After the ride Alicia and Andy decided to head over to Mexico. The 3 of us then decided to look around and by that I had to get on thing off my scavenger list check off. Picture in the mouth of a shark!

We waited a while for Crushs turtle talk but it took forever and we had things to do. Next we went to one of mine and Brittanys favorite little purple dragon. Off to use our IMAGINATION!!!!

Whenever we talk about Figment we always think of Alicias friend Bobby who worked there during is DCP. So during our tour we were on the Bobby lookout even though we knew he wasnt going to be there.

After Figment we decided to head over to the World Showcase. It was almost time for Illuminations so we decided we might as well watch it. I havent seen it in forever. Before we found a spot I decided to use the restroom and of course I chose the one with only 2 stalls so the long was forever long.

Because of that long line we didnt really get a spot for the fireworks so we decided to start walking and watch them until we found a spot. We ended up just stopping by Mexico to watch them.

I got a funny show from the two drunken ladies who happened to be standing in front of us. And by the I mean leaning on each other for support. WELCOME TO THE FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL!
They ended up dancing away into some other part of the showcase.

Disney music seriously is the best! I couldnt contain myself I just had to dance. I mean youre in Disney, watching fireworks, listening to magical music, you just have to dance!

Once Illuminations was over we decided to walk the world showcase. We decided to stop and take some photos along the way.

Anyone home?

With Alicia and Andy

Their dinner was at Alicias favorite restaurant San Angel in the Mexico Pavillion.
I remember Alish texting me that she got stuck by annoying family, and by that mean a mean dad.

That didnt stop them from enjoying their meal! First food out some chips and salsa.
THEMMMM CHIPPPSSS!!! They are so delicious, I dont even need the salsa just give me them chips.

Alicia order the usual, Pollo A Las Rajas

Im not sure what Andy ordered but here is a picture of it

Alicia texted me if I could come to mexico to take a picture of them. Of course she would ask me that when I was on the other side of the showcase. I made Brittany and Chelsea put it in reverse and walk over there. The only condition was Alicia had to get me a school bread.

When we got to Mexico she was kind enough to bring us out a take out box full of them chips!!!!
Seriously so good, Me and Brittany scarfed them down.

Just practicing my photopass photography

Alicia and Andy called it a night while the rest of us roamed the showcase till midnight!!!

After Alicia and Andy left us we decided to make our way around the World Showcase. Our first stop NORWAY!!! My favorite pavilion the smell is perfect

When Vikings Attack!!!!

After the attack of the Vikings we decided to go on Maelstrom. Velcome to Norvay!!!

Dont look at the eye or youll be cursed, Dont take a picture of the eye because your phones camera wont be able to find it quick enough ..

After a nice visit from trolls and polar bears we were off to check off something on Brittanys list. A picture with a troll!

Next thing we have left to do in Norvay is smell that beautiful smell. For those of you who have not smelled Norway you are missing out. Its called Laila the essence of Norway. Its perfect!

Now lets keep going. So all this night I was discussing how I was going to run the whole World Showcase
1) It was on my list for the scavenger hunt
2) I didnt want run it in the day time because of the heat.
Sadly I did not end up completing the mission maybe next time.

Instead lets do so jumping photos.

Next stop Germany! First we decided to take some photos at the wishing well.

Anyone down there?!

We decided to look in the shops where Brittany was in heaven with all the Rapunzel section.

Real classy!

After a couple minutes browsing and on the look out for cute cast members we then went to visit one of Brittanys favorite places to eat.

While planning this trip and planning dinners, she would always throw out how much she loves the Biegarten. I was not really a fan of German food, but I already promised her that the next time we go I will eat there. I will probably end up liking it, I mean its Disney food!!

Just some more classy shots at the fountain in front of Biegarten. Oh look at that someone was so kind to leave their food and wine festival cup, nice prop for Brittany to use

Today was the day I was looking forward to most, MICKEYS NOT SO SCARY HALLOWEEN PARTY!!!! It was a hectic morning, Alicia got up first and was out the door before I even got out of bed. Today was the day of her audition for character performer. (Ill let her tell you how it went)

Nobody decided to get me up, I ended up waking up and moving around 7:15. What?! There are extra magic hours at the Magic Kingdom starting at 8 why didnt anyone wake me up? Thank goodness I dont take long to get ready!

We were out of the room at 7:40, leaving Andy to sleep the day away. Today was a day that Alicia wasnt getting us into the park so we bought a two day pass and Andy didnt want to spend more money so he opted to hang out at the resort till the party that night.

Can I just say how much I LOVE having the monorail right at your resort? Its perfect. We made it to the Magic Kingdom in no time at all. Just enough time to go through bag check, the ticket line and get a good spot for the morning show.

Walking down Main Street for the first time this trip, magical, perfect, wonderful! Reunited and it feels so good

Our first stop was Space Mountain. Seriously though morning magic hours in the magic kingdom are perfect there was no one!

Space mountain sure woke us up

Where is everyone?! Probably still sleeping

Since we were in Tomorrowland why not go hang out with buzz lightyear. Brittany got chosen to do a good disney deed. And by that I mean take a time card for the wait time. Pretty pointless since there was no wait what so ever.

I decided that I would go alone on this ride. About half way though the ride I heard Brittany screaming why? Because she maxed out. This was the moment when I defriended her. I know where most of the good targets are yet I can never max, boo!

After all the excitement we decided to leave tomorrowland and enter the land of fantasy, before that Speedway was calling our names. Before getting in line there was a cast member standing out front handing out Mickey Licenses. To cute!

While waiting in line the lady in front of us recognized Brittany and me from Alicias trip report. I wish I had gotten her name. I guess we were just in shock that someone actually recognized us.

We then actually ended up following her and her family to the teacups. Not on purpose, they were just there in line when we got in line. This was Brittanys first time ever on the Teacups. She is not a fan of spinning rides. She did real well and didnt get sick.

Onto Storybook Circus!

This area is precious, I love all the details they put into it. The new souvenirs tent just opened, the cast members there are awesome! They were all dressed up as clowns and just having a fun time. I traded a pin with one of the clowns, while another one called me and Brittany royalty because of our crowns. Only in Disney!!

Are next rides Dumbo and Goofini, We didnt go on these in May which was really sad. So it was definitely a must on this trip! First we got our picture with the cutest elephant

I was sad that the new dumbo play area was not open.
Onto the best childrens rollercoaster ever!

This ride has the longest exit ever! Seriously it is such a short ride, but the exit is full of twists and turns.

I believe the morning is the best time to knock out all the fantasyland attractions. Its perfect the wait times were really short. Since we would be staying in fantasyland we decided to take a trip to the hundred acre woods.

The whole time on this ride I just kept thinking about Kingdom Keepers. I have only read the first one so far, I know I really need to start reading them again.

Why not go on the carousel? Another thing on Brittanys list, Get a picture on a horse. Keeping it real classy Britt

Try to pull the sword from the stone .check

We decided to look at the shops in fantasyland, because
1) all the princess stuff
2) Chelsea wanted to get her a pair of Minnie ears.

Hello children let me read you a book .. about food

Brittany with her favorite Princess

Couldnt contain my excitement

And because they were right next to eat other we got a picture together

One of my favorite parts of the trip happens next. The guy who was working in the store asked us if we wanted some pixie dust in our hair. Do we? Do you even need to ask us that question?! So we all made a wish and got a ton of pixie dust in our hair, he had a lot of fun sprinkling that pixie dust wand. And after that moment I had pixie dust everywhere!!! I was totally ok with that.​

Loving the trip report!! I read the ingdom keeper except the last one i think its number 5. I always wanted to know what the room looked like in GF, i really liked those pics. I thinking of doing the DCP in 2014 but the summer one if i can.

I really need to read them!!!
Yay for the DCP! Are you thinking of doing Spring 2014 or Fall 2014?​

After a great start to our morning it was time to get re-energized. Has anybody seen the odd life of timothy green? (a movie reference coming up)

After getting re-energized from the sun we were off, off where? Off to one of my favorite rides Chick-A-Pin Hill anyone? First lets go visit some more ghosts. It was chelseas turn to do her good Disney deed

Since it was chelseas first time back after the new interactive que we decided why not go through it, we arent in a rush. This time through we play the game with the statues where you have to figure out who killed who. Brittany decided to be part of a statue

lets go play with the happy haunts, Chelsea went alone on this ride, thank god! I for sure was not ridding alone. The ghosts will attack me forever. The reason I really dont like this ride is the reason of ghost stories. I for sure dont want to work here, no way!

A ghost then followed us home, by that I mean we left the mansion and headed to Splash. We took a nice stroll through liberty square passed Liberty tree Tavern as I started to get excited for getting to eat there this trip.

While waiting in line we decided to make a game plan for what else we needed to get done because we had to leave soon in order to get to our reservation. We decided that Splash would be our last ride before we left. No body wanted the front, I graciously accepted it. Chick-a Pin Hill here we come!!!!

HIDDEN MICKEY!!!

Then there was our ride photo, real classy

As we were leaving the park what happened to just start? Move it Shake it celebrate it. I never actually stopped to watch this. Im really glad we did. If you enjoy dancing with Disney characters and be carefree this is prefect for you!

In our section we had chip & dale and turk. I secretly wished we were in the section next to us they had the toy story characters. But its okay Dale made it special for me by coming up to me and shaking pom poms in my face. Brittany was sad that she didnt get it on video. Oh well

After the parade/ dance party ended I picked up so many Mickey Mouse confetti, it is now on my desk in my room.

Picture time!

Dont mind all the pixie dust in my hair

We took a stroll down Main Street, I swung by the music and dance window. Just listening to a girl singing her scales. The little things in Disney

Its never a trip to Disney without taking a picture with a beautiful tiara!

There was one more thing we had to do before we left. We went to the confectionary to use a snack credit. What to get? Hmmmm oh I know! CAKE POP!!!!

Brittany got a red velvet

I got the vanilla. They were soooo good!

Brittany ate hers up right away. I only took a few bites since we were going to lunch soon.

Overall the cake pops are delicious and I will now have to get one for myself each trip. We officially made our way out of the Magic Kingdom. We had to stop back at our room before we left for lunch
1) My butt was soaked from Splash mountain for I wanted to change my pants
2) I needed to get my buzz hoodie Alicia bought me and exchange it for a smaller size​

When we arrived back at the room we found Andrew just cuddled up under the cover watching sports. Youre in Disney go hang out by the pool!!!

I quickly changed and grabbed the hoodie and we were out of there. We hopped onto the monorail to the TTC and got onto the Epcot monorail. By the way things were looking, we were more than likely going to be late for lunch. Of course!

On the way there Brittany decided rest her eyes, Chelsea thought it was so funny. She soon learned that Disney Transportation makes you very sleepy, and it is also a perfect time to rest when you have a long day ahead of you.

We soon made it to Epcot and by that time we were starting to get worried. Once we made it through the gates we took off in a full on running mode all the way to the world showcase. Yes lets run in the hot sun what a good idea!

We finally made it the Canada Pavilion and to Le Cellier. This was my first time ever eating here. And thank god I was able to get a reservation because now lunch is also 2 table service credits.

When we checked in I made myself look like a complete fool. Previous to the trip my sister Danielle asked me if I could get her just married pins for her. Well as everyone knows they have them no where. Well thanks to the lovely disboards she found out that Le Cellier has them still you just have to ask the person at the podium.

Thats exactly what I did. They gave me a weird look, I mean who wouldnt. I had to tell them that they werent for me but for my sister back home. Luckily enough they had them! The girl then also said that they had a lot more in the back.

We only waited about 10 minutes before we were seated. Thank goodness! I was ready to try some delicious steak everyone has been talking about. First order of business our drink orders, I started off by getting a coke when Brittany told me I should get the smoothie. Change of plans 3 smoothies please!

Now what to eat, what to eat?

They gave us some bread, which I think we all only touched the pretzel bread.

Brittany and I both chose the Wild Mushroom Filet Mignon with cream cheese mashed potatoes. This dish was too delicious to put into words. The steak was fabulous and the mashed potatoes are wonderful! I was enjoying it so much that I forgot to take a picture of it right away. Whoops!

Chelsea got the Sauteed Potato Gnocchi

Once again me and Brittany cleaned our plates clean. What can I saw we love our Disney food, nothing goes to waste! Chelsea on the other hand did not.

Full from your entrée? Not allowed, time for some dessert!!!
I got the Maple Creme Brulee, my father talked non-stop about this after he had it in Aug 2011. And let me tell you it was so good.

Brittany wasnt sure if she liked Crème Brulee so she opted for the Trio of Chocolate. Canadian Club Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Sorbet, and warm chocolate-almond cake. She did not make it through a lot of though.

Chelsea got the chocolate moose

Once we finished everything it was time to head back to the resort and get ready for Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party!! But before we did we took a slow walk back to the front of the park.

You hold Space Ship Earth Brittany!

A lady was kind enough to take a picture of all three of us

Before we left I had to make a stop at Mouse Gears. A little size switch would be easy, so you would think. But it took longer then expected. Luckily everything all worked out and Im a proud owner of a buzz lightyear hoodie.

On our way back to the classy Gflo Alicia texted me that she was going to be late coming back before she just finished her audition and she had to find a way to get back to the resort. She texted me with all the exciting details about the audition, and I was pretty much pooping my pants with excitement!
​

Tonight was the night that I have been waiting for for about a year. We were planning on getting to the party at 4 since that is the earliest you can get in with the Halloween party ticket but that did not end up happening.

Having 4 girls in one room means having a lot of curlers and straighteners

I quickly got changed and straightened my hair first, I helped Chelsea put her hair into some pigtails. Once she was finished it was time to figure out what to do with Brittanys hair. We searched Youtube to see what ideas we could get. I came up with French twist, BBB bun, and pin curls. This hairstyle took me forever mostly because her hair and her layers, dumb.

Alicia finally arrived and was overly excited about her audition and how well it was. She then went through all the details and the process she went through.

Brittany pulled her costume out of her suitcase, it was a ball of wrinkles, why not use our iron?

Alicia was waiting for her friend Ryan to come over and do her hair. In the meantime she asked me if I could curl her hair, but I let the pro of curling handle that one. Yeah Cinderella get to work

Andrew just couldnt contain his excitement for the night that lies ahead

About 6ish me Brittany and Chelsea were ready to go! I went on the porch and it felt like rain. This was not a good sign. Rain rain go away.
Before we headed out we took some pictures of us in our costumes.

Chelsea went as Boo

Brittany went as Cinderella

I went as Lilo

Then we took a photo all together

We were off! Alicia told us she would text us when her and Andy were at the Magic Kingdom so we could meet up. We were running down the hall of the Gflo acting like little children, tonight was going to be the best night in Disney World ever!!!

Walking through the lobby of the Gflo was fun, all the children were calling for Cinderella and Lilo. Most of the night many people didnt know what Chelsea was (She sort of got annoyed by it to.)

We hopped on the monorail and were on our way! When we were walking to the gate, we started feeling some raindrops. This is not a good sign. But a little rain would not kill my mood. Once we went through bag check and ticket line the rain started getting heavier.

We got our wristbands and put on our ponchos, this killed my mood just a little. While prayer for the rain to stop, it just seemed to come down faster. ​
